The man ultimately killed one of the intruders and seriously injured another. There were at least two additional suspects involved in the intrusion and police are still searching for those individuals.

According to Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, the 22-year-old was asleep when he heard a group of people break down his door around 5:30 a.m. He immediately moved his three siblings — ages 8, 11 and 18 — to another room before retrieving his handgun and using it to exchange fire with the suspects. The house was located near Orosi, California.
